Unha Noite Na Eira do Trigo

A Night in the Wheat Field

Unha Noite Na Eira do Trigo

One night in the wheat fieldUnha noite na eira do trigo
Oh, the reflection of the white moonÓ refrexo do branco luar
A girl cried without stoppingUnha nena choraba sin trégolas
The disdain of an ungrateful loverOs desdés dun ingrato galán

And the poor girl amidst complaints saidI a coitada entre queixas decía
I have no one in the worldXa no mundo non teño a ninguén
I will die and my eyes won't seeVou morrer e non ven os meus ollos
The sweet gaze of my loveOs olliños do meu doce ben

Its echoes of melancholyOs seus ecos de malencolía
Walked on the wings of the windCamiñaban nas alas do vento
And the lament repeatedI o lamento repetía
I will die and my love won't comeVou morrer e non ven o meu ben

Far from her standing on the sternLonxe dela de pé sobre a popa
Of a sly slave shipDun aleve negreiro vapor
Emigrating on the way to AmericaEmigrando camiño de américa
Goes the poor and unhappy loverVai o probe e infeliz amador

And looking at the gentle swallowsI ó mirar as xentís anduriñas
Heading towards the land it leaves behindCara a terra que deixa cruzar
Who could turn back, he thoughtQuen pudera dar volta pensaba
Who could fly with youQuen pudera convosco voar

But the birds and the ship fledMais as aves e o buque fuxían
Without hearing his bitter lamentsSin ouir seus amargos lamentos
Only the winds repeatedSolo os ventos repetían
Who could fly with youQuen pudera convosco voar

Clear nights of aromas and moonlightNoites craras de aromas e lúa
Since then, there is sadness in youDesde entón que tristeza en vós hai
For those who saw a girl cryPros que viron chorar unha nena
For those who saw a ship departPros que viron un barco marchar

From a true celestial loveDun amor celestial verdadeiro
Only the proof of tears remainedQuedou solo de bágoas a proba
A cave on a hillUnha cova nun outeiro
And a corpse at the bottom of the seaI un cadavre no fondo do mar
